This week, Clark presents a fan-requested show spotlighting composer Clint Mansell. You'll hear selections from such diverse works as Requiem for a Dream, Sahara, The Fountain, Doom, Definitely, Maybe and Smokin' Aces. No movie reviews this week, but perhaps a bonus track from The Band will help soothe the pain. Enjoy!

Special guest Judge Patrick Bromley joins the Filibuster team of Dave, Mac, Erich, and Mike, for a super-sized geek fest. This week, the boys cover everything from fish-cleaning video games, the finale of Stallone's Cobra, and Lost's decidedly dark turn, to daring bank robberies, exploding heads, and Kevin Smith's Cop Out.

And now you can enjoy the madness all week long on the new Filibuster Facebook page.

Erich, Steve, and Jon are knee-deep in recent releases this week. Heavy Rain gets a torrential downpour of love from Steve, as does Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (Modern Warfare 2 fans may not want to listen to this part); Jon comes to terms with his disappointment in Bioshock 2, then he and Erich go old school with first impressions of the NES-tastic Mega Man 10; and it wouldn’t be an episode of this podcast if Erich didn’t whine about the combat in Mass Effect. Also discussed this week: Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Risen, the global PS3 meltdown, Nintendo’s recent media summit, upcoming releases, and the DSi XL.

Dave, Mac, Erich, Mike, and Michael saddle up to do battle with weather, traffic, the Olympics, Benicio Del Toro in The Wolfman, a Big Sandwich in Little China, Erich's fetish for feline-owned baseball teams, Roman Polanski's Ghost Writer vs. Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, going down the rabbit hole with Abby in Wonderland, non-existent memories of Matt Houston, and an animated Friday Night Lights goes all Arthurian to dispense justice. Plus, such pearls of wisdom as don't get caught in a Yoga Meltdown or go camping near a maximum security prison; when real life tragedies seep into scripted TV shows; reckless oil drilling on high school football fields; addressing the horrible epidemic of children trapped in refrigerators; giving a 300-style makeover to classic '80s action flicks; when man-made monsters and movie/television-themed Mad Libs go bad; and another game of "Dead or Alive?" starring Lou Gossett Jr.

Dave, Tim, and Erich run through the games they've been playing--including Modern Warfare 2, Mass Effect, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, 'Splosion Man, Dante's Inferno, and Street Fighter IV--before looking ahead to big (and little) titles on the horizon. Dave wonders whether he should try Heavy Rain, Tim wonders whether he'll be able to find a PS3 before God of War III comes out, and Erich wonders whether the Xbox Live Arcade Game Room will be worth downloading. No Symposium Ad Nauseum this week, but we have a very good excuse. At least, I think we do. You'll have to listen to find out.

Dave, Tim, and Erich do their best to alienate listeners, with musings on the religious implications of recent games, the tail-end of the NFL season, and NBA Jam tournament memories.

This week, Clark continues counting down the very best film music of 2009, from #15 to #11. Using his unique brand of eccentric math, Clark manages to fit seven scores by four composers into those five slots, but that's forgivable given that the music is insanely good. So sit back, relax, and enjoy some terrific music courtesy of Carter Burwell, Alexandre Desplat, Randy Newman and Christopher Young. In addition, Clark offers his less than glowing review of Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones.
